“Inclusion Day:” Friday, March 22nd

The men of The ManKind Project in New Zealand are holding an “Inclusion Day” this Friday, March 22nd.

On that day, those men will speak to those they meet, asking them, “What makes you unique, and a gift to the world?”

We ask you to participate in “Inclusion Day,” not only in support of New Zealand, but in terms of creating awareness of the value of diversity everywhere, and fostering pride.

Some men of the ManKind Project in the USA have signed on to do the same. More countries will likely join in.

So, on Friday, ask yourself and others: “What makes you unique, and a gift to this world?”

For the past two decades, the Vision 2020 Diversity Task Group has been at the table helping to lead important conversations and initiatives. They remind all of us that–in spite of the great progress that our society has made–the ever-changing patchwork quilt of our town and our world must continue to be safeguarded and nurtured.

Each time I meet with the Diversity Task Group I’m reminded of how vital you are to the well-being of Arlington.
